Little kids are immoral little beasts.
Immoral or amoral? I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And then I forget about it until the next year instead of asking someone, which, you know, my issue. But. Would it absolutely kill them to say on the form "deduct more" or "deduct less"?
Seriously. All of a sudden this year, I was like, "Fuck! What does 2 mean again? Is that the one where I've fucked up and owe a lot, or is that the right one? How could that be the right one? Not sure. Well, we'll see..."

I did not know childcare was deductible.
Yes. THANK GOD.
I pay enough in childcare now that it's like the equivalent of parochial school tuition. Which I guess means I should get my kids baptized in the Catholic Church so we can afford private school at some point.
I applied for a job at textbook company. Meep. Nothing will prolly come of it, but still.
I can't find the form I need to keep my current job. I seem to have lost it. Is that a sign?

Now tagless for your comfort.
A co-worked of DH's figured out that he needs to claim 9 to exactly owe nothing and get nothing back on his tax return. I think it took him years to figure it out.

I've noticed vultures flying around the office building today. I suspect it has something to do with the Ford Sales Rally being held in the building today.

Absolutely! Whether they have clear ideas of what consequences all of their actions will have is another matter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Amoral is what I mean.

I'd say my 8 year old definitely has a sense of moral standards, though she seems to take a looser stand when her brother is involved.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actuaries are exactly like gamers, but with more tolerance for really slow feedback, aren't they?
